Rioted with the material damage caused by the overflow of a stream every time that it rains strong in the area, at least 250 residents of the Vila Curuçá, in Itaim Paulista, end east of São Paulo, they accomplished a protest between the night of this Tuesday and dawn today. During the manifestation in the Estrada João Néri, the residents made two barricades with burned objects, among them two bus, and they faced the policemen that arrived at the place.

To burn bus because of flood seems to be irrational. It seems but it is not.

In Brazil to take care of the streams and of the system of drainage of rain waters it is function of the City Hall. As the municipal public transportation works by City Hall concession is well-known the relationship of complicity and promiscuity between bus entrepreneurs and public agents. With or without flooding Mayors and Aldermen always receive electoral moneys of the bus companies. Like this, if the Mayor doesn't prevent the inundations the population will always cause damage to the bus companies. This is a way to impede that the same ones give money for the Mayor during the next elections.
